Constants of Nature: π, e, and Beyond in Physics
Constants like π and e appear everywhere in physics, linking math to natural laws.
π (3.14159…) governs circles, waves, and even quantum mechanics.
Euler’s number e (2.71828…) emerges in growth, decay, and probability.
The speed of light, 𝑐, is a universal constant shaping relativity.
Planck’s constant, ℎ, sets the scale of quantum mechanics.
Newton’s gravitational constant, 𝐺, measures the strength of gravity.
The fine-structure constant, α, encodes the strength of electromagnetism.
Boltzmann’s constant, 𝑘𝐵, connects temperature to microscopic energy.
Dimensionless constants like α puzzle physicists—why those exact values?
At their heart, constants of nature are the universe’s unchanging numbers, weaving math into reality.
